PARISH CHARITIESI am grateful to all who cast their votes last Sunday for the parish charities. David Spillane, our Parish Pastoral Council Secretary, has written “the three charities receiving the most votes were: Waverley Day Centre, Apostles of Jesus Seminary in Uganda and Friends of the Holy Land.” This represents a blend of local and international charities.

WELCOMEAt the 9.30 am Sunday Mass, we will welcome the four children in our Parish Group, cared for by Mesdames Adams and Barr, who are preparing for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and Eucharist. Please hold them in your prayers on Sunday and throughout their time of preparation.

NEXT SUNDAY: SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KINGSunday 25 November is the Solemnity of Christ the King and Youth Sunday. It is also the time for us to highlight the importance of young people in the Church in a number of ways, in the liturgy, in youth ministry, our own prayers. At the same time, it is an opportunity to help the Diocesan Kenelm Youth Service by giving financial support through the second collection.

Prayers for the sick

Our Parish actively encourages praying for our parishioners, relatives and friends who are sick and in need of support. Until now this has been achieved on an informal basis by parishioners providing details to one of our Priests. With the advent of GDPR, we are obliged to make that process more formal - please click here in order to read more and to download the form that must be completed and given to one of our Priests.
